A medieval carved stone arched window is one of the first things seen by visitors to Easter House near Burford.

Set in the garden wall, it is at the entrance to the gravel driveway of the Cotswold stone cottage.

Easter House in Taynton also has many other period features, including an open fireplace, flagstone floors and exposed ceiling timbers.

On the ground floor is a drawing room, sitting room, study and kitchen/dining room with a six- plate range cooker and under-floor heating.

There are four bedrooms on the first floor and a master with ensuite bathroom on the top floor.

In the garden is a timber summerhouse with power and light, used as a studio by the owners.

Sophie Salter, of agents Butler Sherborn, said: “The current owners have improved Easter House and have created an excellent property for entertaining family and friends with double doors opening from the dining and drawing rooms to the terrace. The property offers just over 2,300 sq ft of living accommodation with an office in the garden, which could double as an annex, as it has a wet room.”

Easter House is on the market at a guide price of £1.15m.
